Thank you guys. 

#3 could be General der Infanterie Kuno von Steuben?

The Headquarter of the Army moved to Prilep on 5 October 1916 until the retreat to Hungary in September 1918.

In That period of time Gen. von Steuben was Commander of the Army (from 5 June 1917)

Hallo : I read the same as ixhs Oberbefehlhaber etc . but the manner in which the name of the bulgarian general puzzled me .commonly the name of the bulgarian Chief of Staff is writed as Jekov or Jekoff . even Schekoff.must be him 

[Bayern]

Lieutenant general Nikola Zhekov (1864 1949 ) was first  minister of War in 1915 and then Commander in chief of the Bulgarian Army (oberbefehlshaber) from1915 to 1918 due to the fact that King Ferdinand I resigned his prerrogatives and appointed the General
